The Vineyard

Condrieu, founded in 59BC by a roman chef. Planted on narrow and steep terraces, the vineyard is in the Northern Rhone Valley of France.

The Grape

100% Viogner

9 months on the lees in French oak casks at low temperatures.

Oh my goodness! Les Vins de Vienne Condrieu ‘La Chambee’ 2016 is a banging bottle of Viognier. If you can get your hands on this bottle, don’t let it go. The price tag is a bit steep at $50+. However, it is well worth a sip. I highly recommend seeking this one out.

If you have any favorite Viognier’s to recommend, please drop a note in comments. I am always welcome to suggestions.
